dxwrapper VS d3d8to9

Then, download this and place the files inside the game directory (C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity Classic).

There's also dxwrapper that implements old DirectDraw/3D interfaces with newer D3D9 api for better compatibility with newer Windows versions:

FYI: The Space Bar re-release features Elisha Riedlinger's DxWrapper (https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper), whose config file is otherwise stock with just FullScreen enabled. I strongly believe they didn't properly test it.

RTX Remix uses a custom d3d9.dll though so you additionally need another wrapper such as https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper to customize which dll should be loaded since by default d3d8to9 uses the default system file which will result in translated calls not being redirected to the path tracer used by Remix.

If you have a GPU that supports DXVK (Basically it forces DXVK to run the game in Vulkan intsead of it's usual DirectX 9, which the DX9 version hates GTA IV and while GTA IV hates DX9 back) and has more than 2GB of VRAM (DirectX Vulkan), then I HIGHLY recommend it: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases (Use this guide to install it: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2020/07/gta-4-stutter-choppiness-fix.html. If you want aliasing AND DXVK, use this guide: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2021/01/antialiasing-with-dxvk-and-gta-iv.html. If your GPU doesn't support Vulkan, use DxWrapper: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases).

So Blood Omen 2 runs fine when i use the d3d8.dll from, this link https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases and fixes my menu issues/freezing on Windows 10. But i also wanted to try the Conceptual edition mod which comes with its version of the Revamped d3d8.dll which upon launch of the game always crashes it. Any suggestions, I can play Vanilla fine now but i really wanted to try the mod . There is a substantial size difference between the two dll files if that helps. I wondered if i can merge them ?

Occasionally, you can get directx8 games to work using d3d8to9, and rarely a game uses shader model 2/3 but can still run. Those sorts of games are definitely exceptions, though.

You can get wrapper here

I have been working on RTX Remix integration in Freelancer for a bit, the problem is that you need to use a wrapper such as https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases to convert all calls to DirectX9.

/u/mainmeal5 /u/MCMFG have you guys tried this: https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9 ?

I found a fix! Download this https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases/tag/v1.11.0 and paste the file in the game directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia\Mafia). Game will run on dedicated GPU even if the game settings still show the integrated graphics.

You are welcome. Consider using d3d8to9 and other patches for a better experience.
